Over the years Emilia Persenico has artistically interpreted the phenomenon of violence against women and sexual abuse of children within the family.
The house and the body are the themes of her work. If the materials suggest its fragility, the old embroideries recompose the broken bonds through an activity carried out in daily silence and patience.
In 2021, the artist created 25 novembre (November 25), a video in which men and women talk to each other inside a house whose deep rooms are the silent witnesses of fear and silence.
The Istituto Italiano di Cultura Toronto presents this film for the 2021 International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
